Yetti Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Last Wed I went for a flight to LBX because I could. Had some great crab cakes and got some fuel. Flew home in the mostly dark and did a carrier landing. Other than that no gripes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbp Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Flew up to see Niagara Falls just because I could. Lovely flying day in the northeast! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0TreeLemur Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Fly-in today at Fayette, AL (M95). The P-51 I'm parked next to has 12 kills in WWII. She did two awesome high-speed low passes. The second one I witnessed out my windshield as I was waiting to back-taxi. Hair raising to see an airplane go that fast that close!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbridges Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Flew to Greenville, SC this weekend. CAVU both ways! My wife started chemo earlier in the year, and this was my first flight with her in months. Great time at Fall for Greenville. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toto Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 4 hours ago, flyboy0681 said: rare helos This made me go “huh - wonder how rare.” The Army Reserve flies Chinooks at my home drone, so they’re super common in the local traffic area. They generate an insane amount of rotor wash, so you do have to be careful when operating behind them - but they’re otherwise very cool to have around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolter Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 @amillet, Sausage, and me met up for formation practice. First time in a year, for me. Met up at 0S9 (Port Townsend) and maneuvered up and down the Strait between 0S9 and KCLM. Using the sunny days while we can. This bonus summer weather will not stay around much longer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell Mrs. RB we have her in our thoughts and prayers… Something happened to the pic… see if you can re post. October is a big month for cancer related walks and 5ks… a great way to find/give support for big challenges… last week we walked to combat breast cancer, this week was Myeloma….

Ned Gravel Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Bimbling? Haven’t heard that term since my time in BAOR in the mid 80’s. “Moving without apparent purpose.” Is that what you were doing above the deck over Normandy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Need to put ‘bimbling’ in the MS word of the day file…. Try to use that in conversation tomorrow…. -a- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Gravel Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 3 hours ago, Ibra said: It was that a “gentle meandering with no haste” Where you were stationed during your service? Canadian exchange officer to 1st Armd Div Sig Regt (1 ADSR), Verden an der Aller- ‘83 to ‘85. First heard the term when one of my young Sgts gave his report following a last lite perimeter patrol on the Deister where we had established our Comcen. He was a Scouse and was referring to a person they had engaged halfway through the patrol and was using unflattering language to describe the hapless TA soldier who had been sent to test us. Apparently, “bimbling” is not a desirable skill in soldiers. When I asked him what “bimbling” meant, that is how he defined it for me. Still chuckle when I remember that exchange in our little CP close to a midnight in September ‘84. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No special certificate or training required! Obviously it’s also a really good idea to get some quality training though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
